Gluten-free and sugar-free apple bars recipe

Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Pit the Medjool dates and soak them in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes to soften.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the pecans and oats over it. Bake for 15 minutes in the oven.
Drain the dates and put them in a food processor (or immersion blender) and add the apples as well (cut them into smaller pieces first). Process until finely chopped.
Then add the oat flakes and pecans, along with the cinnamon and salt, and process until combined.
Take a brownie pan or another square baking dish with slightly raised edges and line it with parchment paper. Spread the apple mixture over the pan and press down.
Bake another 20 minutes at 175°C. Let cool briefly, then cut into bars. You can store them for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge.
